HEATING AND VENTILATIN G APPARATUS.

Application led February 28, 1927. Serial No.

My invention relates to a heating and ventilating apparatus.

The object of my invention is to provide a compact unitary structure capable of being manufactured in large quantities so that the parts are interchangeable, of standard width to fit into standard building constructions,

noiseless and capable of delivering the maximum of heat and ventilation for the radiation provided.

Itis a further object to provide a structure which is very rigid while at the same time made out of simple parts requiring the minimum of die work for their formation.

It is the Obj ect of my invention to provide a unitary casing, completely enclosed, of a size adaptable to go between the standard spacing of studding or other building supports and so enclosed that its moving parts and heated parts will present the minimum of opportunity of causing damage or injury to an operator, particularly in domest1c 1nstallations. Y

It is a further object to provide a unitary structure in which the sliding cover will add strength and rigidity to the assembly and in which a spring supported fan, in a fan compartment, is so arranged as to distribute the a1r moved thereby over a radiator which not only provides' radiation but also dilfusion members so that there will be a uniform distribution of heated air making its exit from the structure of my invention. vReferring to the drawings, Fig. 1 is a front elevat1on of the complete outfit from the radiator side;

Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof; Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3*?) of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a section ontheline 4 4 of Fig. l; Fig. 5 is a plan view of the blank forming three walls of the unitary structure;

Fig. 6 is-an inverted perspective viewoi:l

the blank formed into final position;

Fig. 7 is a plan view of the bottom wall Fig. 1l is a rear elevation of the spring supported fan which is supported by the fan partition;

Fig. l2 is a blank of the fan supporting nger. Referring to the drawingsin detail; and 1n particular to the blanks from which the casing is'made, there will be observed in Fig. 5 a contmuous strip of metal consisting of the following parts.- A central section l is provided with a front radiator retaining flange 2 which is adapted to be bent at right angles along the line 3 with respect to the section 1 which becomes the top section. On either side of the top section are side sections 4 having hand holes 5 and radiator pipe holes 6. The forward edge of each side section is provided with a radiator guard flange 7 side flange 8, and rear supporting flange 9.

he rear supporting flange 9 is of similar bottom section is showny Slides are formed 0n either side of the plate l 12 by the double folding along the lines 16 and 17 of the section 18.y A flange is also provided on the edge of the plate 12 op osite to the retaining flange 14; such flange ing designated 19.

The rear cover plate which is adapted to slide on and ol" the cabinet formed from the parts just described consists of a cover plate portion 20 having sides 2l adapted vto be turned over into U sides having bolt holes 22 through which bolts may be passed to attach the sliding cover to the cabinet. On the rear wall of the plate 20 is formed a flange 23 which is formed at right angles thereto in order to limit the movement of the slidingcover 20.

In Fig. 10 will be `found the blank for the fan partition consisting of a. plate 24 having a fan opening '25 and a plurality of spaced shaped portions, such lingers 27 the blank for which is shown 1n Fig. 12. This fan partition is provided with flanges 28 which are turned -at right angles to the fan partition and are fastened by bolts 29 through bolt holes 30 to the walls of the cabinet.

The fan 31 ddriven by the motor 32 is supported by the motor a-rms 33 which are connected by the springs 34 to the arms 27 on the fan partition plate 24.

The opening in the front of the cabinet i formed by the inwardlyl turned flanges 2, 7

., These tubes are mounted in circular headers 37, the ends of which are connected to supply exit pipes 38 that pass through the walls of the cabinet and are retained in position by the nuts 39. The openings 5 are closed by detachable covers of any desired character such covers being designated 40.

The portion of the plate 12 which engages with the sidewalls 4 is braced thereto particularly along the line of structure of the section 14 therewith.

The slidable cover 20 has its edge 41 located beneath the inwardly turned flange 11. The turned over end 23 is adapted to engage the flange 19 ofthe plate 12 so that an interlocking engagement is formed.

Assembly.

It will be noted that the cabinet is formed by assembling a top portion and side portions from a single piece, that the bottom section is formed by .utilizing interlocking flanges 8 and 18, consisting of turned over U shaped edges, while the rear cover is slidably mounted on the outwardly turned flanges of the sides, such flanges being numbered 8 and the inwardly turned grooved sides of the cover being designated 21. j

- It will be understood that I desire to comprehend within my invention such modifications as may be necessary to adapt it to varying conditions and uses.

Having thus fully described my invention, what Il claim is new 'and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1.
